From the recording Sleeping on the Wrong Side of the Bed
Recorded on the Ipad to capture what I think is the best arrangement of this song.
I wrote this tune after reflecting on the fact we can choose to be happy. Often times we simply walking around waiting for something to "make" us happy...
Seems silly doesn't it, but I swear I was over forty before I made this simple realization.
I'd been sleepin on the wrong side of the bed.
Lyrics
Once I had my eye on That brass ring
So many crazy thoughts in my head
I woke up with the sun
I saw that dream was gone
I’d been sleeping on the wrong side
of the bed
Heartaches come and go if you let them
You can hold them tight or let them go
If you hold them all day long
Well when the day is done
What do you have there in your heart to show?
What you get and what choose to hold on to
What you hear and what is really being said
Feel the message in a song
Knowing right and doing wrong
Sleeping on the wrong side of the
Bed
Life is nothing more than you make it
It can be so good or be so bad
If something comes around you
better take it
Don’t die wishing for something
you never had
I may love you every night and
every morning
From the bottom of my heart to the
top of my head
But if the feelings gone
There is no need to linger on.
I’d just be sleeping on the wrong
side of the bed.
Life is nothing more than you make it
For every single smile there is a frown
Fly just as high as you can take it
But what goes up surely must come down
Everyday begins with a new sunrise
You don’t know what is down the path ahead
If you are feeling down and blue
You know that feel is up to you
Don’t be sleeping on the wrong side of the bed
When it seems the world is out to get you
Remember just what I said
Instead of thinking the world is wrong
Make a change and go along
Don’t be sleeping on the wrong side of the bed
